Judy, I think so, but I can see some ambiguity in the wording.

For the FSC prereq, any wood coming from the tropics needs to be FSC certified. If it is reused or reclaimed wood, it is exempt. For the credit, at least 90% of a component must meet credit requirements. There are some exeptions for existing materials in gut rehab products. Consult with your Green Rater for more details.
